I have a query on a lab session in networking course -lab DNS - and the question is "change the DNS server to google’s DNS which is 8.8.8.8 " which itried to solve with sudo vi /etc/resolv.conf and then i’m not able to locate the line starting with name server to edit it to google’s DNS. Kindly help me in solving this

#2

which Linux flavour are you in ?

generally the problem is solved by editing

/etc/resolv.conf

and adding a line

nameserver 8.8.8.8

The lab runs CentOS, but the above is valid. However to change nameserver, then replace any existing nameserver line with the new one.
